NEWS:

- Getting really hectic at school (i'm 9th grade in Indonesia)
- Currently going to teach others at school how to do pivot
- Using pivot 2.25
- Doing a collab with a Flasher friend @ school, it's called STICKFIGURE TV. Inspired by stick figure on crack by PivotMaster DX, meant to be a tutorial for animating students at my school. Coming soon!
- A teacher told me to teach kids from another school

No new anims yet, just wait for more in stickfigure tv.

not bad for the first animation on dark demon, but you have to work on the basics, like moving every point in every frame, easing, physics and so on. visit bahas mega tutorial, maybe it helps you. rank: low-beginner, but you have good ideas, and some moves look cool. keep working
courtesy? (means, that if i comment your animations, you comment mine in my thread)

P.S: pm me for info of saving the gifs, I have both, pivot 2 and pivot 3 beta.

alright welcome to the forums, your animations are very un-eased, stiff and lack physics check the tutorials

Tx everyone, i'm constantly training myself. I'm having a 4 day holiday, so i'm gonna use this chance to train and read tuts.

O yea, i made a few anims on my breaks. I've noticed rolling can help making a character more dynamic, so here's my rolling test. comments pls, i need to improve this move (i made it in a very short time without tuts)
Image
uploaded it on Illegal link, i hope it doesn't slow down.

Image
above: this is the "tiger spring" move i learned during P.E. it's quite useful for animating a character who's dodging bullets on the run. I can't make a proper running anim yet, but it would be best if you continue the roll with running. In this anim I only made the stickman stand after rolling, if you can make him run after that share your tips and piv with me pls.

Image
i've also noticed that some action movie/game characters use a tiger spring or a simple roll to break their fall. here's a test.

Comment pls, and help me practice. Tx

the first tiger spring was great but your animations are still stiff.

maybe i should make it in 17fps instead? gif doesn't make it. i hope they finish pivot 3 soon, i'm currently using pivot 3 beta and i use hypercam to turn anims into avi.

does hosting make the gifs slower? cuz it's still fast and not so choppy in my own computer, but it turned slow after hosting. same thing happened to the tiger spring anim i put on blogger.

That one is good, when he stops, he's balancing on one foot. work on easing too.

It was cool, but needed some work with easing.

good, easing again

Overall, work on easing and some physics, but look at some tuts and stuff. low-med beginner.
courtesy?

OMG, someone respectable posting on your thread :O

Lol, whatever. Your animations are pretty stiff, and you can fix that by moving every single joint you can in every frame, but still try not to get shaky. Also, you improved from your first animation a lot by the Tiger flip, but you still have much to do. I also see you are trying to work on slow-motion, there are two ways to do that, pixel-by-pixel and double framing. examples for those are:
Image Pixel by Pixel, move the character 1 pixel each frame when doing slow motion;
Image Double Framing, insert a frame every 2 frames during slow motion.

Also, so your animations don't slow down when you publish them, make your save settings look like this:
Image
And remember to do it each time you save an animation

Also, all newbies must learn the rule of Courtesy. I am not going to ask for it now, as I have not published anything recently, but when someone gives you a good comment (At least half as good as mine) and says Courtesy? Or some variation of that at the end of their post, they expect you to give as good of a comment on their thread thereafter.

-IA

P.S.: Also, don't use pivot 3. Pivot 2 works better and has a better feel.

somehow all image hosting sites i've visited today have problems on hosting my anim. whassup with that? i've tried Illegal link, imageshack, and imagehost, anda all 3 doesn't work.

maybe i should do it later in the afternoon.

also, i'm using pivot 3 beta, what settings should i use to keep the speed the same after hosting?

Read my P.S., they're never going to finish pivot 3 and pivot 2 is overall better and makes your animations less choppy

It also does the laundry for you!

a test for evading in slowmotion

http://uploaded.Illegal link.org/pivot_art ... _20vzn.gif
another test for slowmo evading

http://uploaded.Illegal link.org/pivot_art ... _28ecn.gif
this one is very old, i made this when i never even knew the concepts of easing, physics etc.

i can only post these stuff, anything else above 1 megs can't get through Illegal link

what should i do?

ARGH DAMMIT IT GOT SLOWED AGAIN

it looked fast here in my computer when i view it as gif

i unchecked all options, i use pivot 3 beta

-Xemozu: I converted to URL those last two animations, because they were distorting the layout

Pivot 3 beta slows down your animations, I'm telling you. Use pivot 2.

A combo test, with a punch, a stomp, a backflip kick, and then a jumping stomp punch (or whatever it's called on video games)

another combo test, with people to do taste the combos

you have rust too... Rust means you dont move the sticks naturally (not making them move realistic) Work on easing too.. and your animations are still stiff... it was a nice try on the slow motion animation but you still have to move both the sword and the .stkman 1 pixel at a time without making it stiff... i know it seems hard to do you you'll get the hang of it! i see great potential in you... try adding a ground or using a different stkman like a midget... to me midgets are easier to use xD use pivot 2... erm keep practicing, very creative animations btw.. Courtesy?

Lmao, Knock Out!
